Rockland’s Carlucci bears brunt of Daily Show jab (Updated)

For the second time in a little more than a week, New York’s debate over legalizing same-sex marriage found itself on “The Daily Show” last night.

But this time, a Rockland County native found himself taking the brunt of the joke.

After noting that the state Senate took up a bill to name sweet corn the official state vegetable while a vote on gay marriage looms, Stewart played a clip of Clarkstown Sen. David Carlucci’s comments from the floor.

“The importance of this legislation is not whether we have sweet corn or onions or any other vegetable, but it’s important that we do recognize and have a state vegetable for New York,” Carlucci, a Democrat, said in the clip.
